Nei sant det,men var ikke det jeg var ute etter å påpeke heller.Men hvis det hadde vert en bil med full M-tech hadde jo folk sakt det samme,for folk tror jo det er en M3...

M-Cars vs. M-badged cars

There are several BMW models which BMW Motorsport made changes on, without them becoming M-Cars. This succession of styling (M-tech I, M-tech II) and performance cues came from BMW Motorsports; e.g. BMW 530i M packet or 325i M packet etc. Vehicles which have been modified by BMW Motorsport, but are not full M Cars, may feature "M" badges, whilst full M Cars will have "M" badges with the model number (e.g. "M3" or "M5"). Two exceptions would be the M Roadster and M Coupe models, both Z3, Z4 and 1-series variants, which only have an "M" badge with no number displayed on the trunk. These cars are full M Cars.

In recent years, there have been M-badged accessories available on non-M cars, usually as factory options. Examples of this include the E39 and E60 5 series sedans had optional aerodynamic packages that included strongly influenced M5 styling (for example bumpers). It is not unusual to see "standard" BMW's with "M" badges or ribbons accenting the design. The plain motorsports Badge simply stands for M-tech upgrades on the car, suspension, brakes, looks or any other mod that has been developed by the ///M division. So therefore the ///M badge should not under any circumstances be compared to the ///M+number badge (except the Z-cars, as mentioned), as they are not fully fledged M-cars, just M-equipped.

BMW has for example, had these ///M options on the regular cars since the late 1970s, which explains why some cars that carry these ///M-badges from factory.

The 2011 BMW 335is is considered an M-badged and enhanced car, although not a full M-car. The 335is has a more powerful engine than the regular 335i, plus the front bumper intake and rear exhaust manifold influenced by the M3, and an optional dual clutch transmission instead of a conventional automatic transmission. The same engine is also found in the 2012 BMW 1 Series M Coupe, which is considered a full M car.[16]
